It is true with respect to the overwhelming majority of private colleges/universities regularly discussed on this board.

I went to Syracuse University and LOVED it! I had an excellent education. Obviously you do not choose to go here for the city of Syracuse. People have different preferences and reasons for why they choose a particular school.

Syracuse University was my very first choice because it is large, relatively self-contained campus-based, fun, social, sports-oriented (Carrier Dome) and tons of school spirit. For me, If I had wanted a great city school then I would have chosen a place like NYU, but that is not my scene.

If you are full pay, but have 75th%ile stats, you will likely qualify for merit aid.

Of course, if you have only the stats your merit aid might be $10k but if you have a hook or solid extracurriculars you could see $20 or $30k.

Schools like Syracuse have to discount the sticker price to bring in students that are better than solid.

Newhouse. Otherwise, Syracuse is a big NOPE. But, many schools are like this. Certain programs are worth it.

You asked for advice, OP.

Syracuse is a terrible city. The program may be good but your kid has to live there.

Put down the wine bottle.

Newhouse is one of the best programs in the nation for journalism, communication, etc. Worth every penny. Other majors maybe not.
